Look Up

"Wait.."

I can't concentrate probably!! When I try to think the image of what happen yesterday comes to mind!! Ugh!!

"Kanzaki!! Ohayou!!", I heard a voice calling me and I looked over and saw Hiro and Cherry catching up to me.

"O-Ohayou!", I reply.

"Kanzaki! Guess what?!?", Cherry shouts.

"What?", Cherry lean in and whispers,"Hiro and I are an item".

"EHHH?!? Really?!? Wah!! Congrats!", I said as I high five Hiro and Cherry. I was really happy for Cherry and I know for sure Hiro will take good care of Cherry. We were all talking as we walked to school but we heard a voice in the distance.

"Guys!! Wait up!!", And my fave burned red, I knew exactly who it was. I turn around and saw Hibiki waving his hand in the air running as fast as he can.

"Yo! Hibiki Ohayou!", Hiro fist bump Hibiki as they greeted each other.

"Ohayou!", Cherry greet Hibiki as well. Hibiki then turn his gaze tours me, my body tensed up. Hibiki came over to me and lean and whisper in my ears,"Ohayou.... Watashi no ai", after he said that I felt like I was a burning magma.

I quickly backed away as fast as I can, the other just started at me."E-Eh.. I-I have s-someone I have t-to me... I-I'll see you guys in class!", I ran as fast as I can tours school. I hid behind the gym, my breathing was heavy. I lean on the wall and calm down,"Holmes-San what are you doing here??".

I turn to see who's this voice belong to, a boy with blue hair with baby blue eyes, I think his name was Kuro.

"Oh.. I was just running.. Or something like that..", I said in an awkward voice. Kuro lean on the wall next to me, and looked up at the sky.

"I see..", Then there was an awkward silent.

"Hey! I heard rumors that you and Hibiki are an item.... Is that true?", He looked at me straight in the eyes as he asked this question, while I just Looked up. My body started to feel like magma again.

"W-What a-are you talking about?!?That's just a stupid r-rumor!! Anyways, Hibki is just an annoying brat!! What's so good about him!!", I lied.

"Oh.. I see", Kuro sigh. Then I heard a "Tik!", and Kuro and I turn and saw Hibiki looking at me with those sad and depressed eyes.

"Hi-", but before I could finish he quickly ran away. I was about to run after him but Kuro held me back.

"Leave him alone.. He'll come around..", and I just nod. I the heard the mornings bell ring, I bow and said my goodbye to Kuro and head to class... Worried about what Hibiki had to say.

I walked in to class and sat in my seat, I turn to Hibiki but he just faced the board. Is he mad at me..?? I was about to call out his name but the teacher came in.

"Ohayou Class! Tod-", after the greeting I didn't pay attention instead I was worried about Hibiki. Every one in a while I would look over at him but his eyes were just fixed in the board.

After School
Cherry and Hiro went on their date after school, leaving me, Hibiki and 2 other for cleaning duty.

"Ne~ Kanzaki.. Can we leave early.. Yuki and I really want to go to the newest shop!! Please!!", the two girl ask.

"Uhh.. Sure! I'll take care of it! You guys have fun!", I reply.

"Thanks you! We owe you once!", they said as they left the class, leaving Hubiki and I alone.

"What do you think you're doing??", Hibiki ask in a scary tone.

"Ehh??"

"You think you can clean all this by yourself??", I looked around the room and saw tons of mess.

"W-Well.. It looked like they just wanted to have fun an-"

"And make you clean all by yourself?!?", Hibiki yelled and I jumped a little. I just looked at him holding my mop in hand.

"Hand me the broom..", Hibiki sigh, I hand him the broom and he started sweeping. I just stood there, staring at him.

"Are you just gonna stand there or help?", He ask.

"Oh! Uh.. Sorry", I mop the spaces he had swept and we worked together... In silence.

I try not to get distracted so I pull up my sleeve and start cleaning as fast as I can. Moping, Sweeping, cleaning the window, cleaned bf the chalkboard and reorganizing the bookshelf.

"Phew!", I sigh in relief. We were all done cleaning and the room looked great! I look at the time and it was 4:56 pm. Hibiki took his thing and head to the door. But I held on his jacket and stopped his mid way.

"Hibiki... Wait..", I said in a loud yet low whisper.

"....."

"T-Thank you for helping me!"

"Yea.. Sure..", was his reply. My grip on his shirt got tighter.

"Hibiki.. Are you mad at me...??", I ask. But I didn't get a reply so I decided to continue,"I am sorry... Sorry.. Sorry... Sorry... Sorry... I didn't mean any of it... Sorry.. Sorry", I finally let go of his shirt and tears started spilling like crazy. Hibiki turn around and look at me straight in the eyes. I Look Up at him and said....

"Don't hate me!". Suddenly I felt Hibiki's embrace around me, which made me cry harder.

"Kanzaki.. Stop crying.. Sorry I was acting like I did.. I just felt like you didn't want me..", He said. I shook my head in his chest and return the hug.

"I want you to be next to me... Always", we pull away and Hibiki wipe my tears with his thumb.

"Let's go home.. Together!", I nod and Hibiki took my hand and head out.

Hibiki... I might not be able to tell you my feelings right now... But I am sure someday.. After I build up my courage I'll tell you.. Until then... Wait
